CPCNA is pleased to present Dan Grover, RN, BN, BSc and Kelli Stajduhar, RN, PhD, FCAHS, FCAN who will be speaking to us on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 9-10am
While increasingly recognized as a human right, access to palliative care is still not a given. Even though palliative care as a concept seems to be unanimously supported, it is still not readily available to all Canadians. Those who do benefit from palliative care services tend to also benefit from higher socio-economic status and family support, as opposed to those people facing the end-of-life who also face inequities like homelessness, poverty, isolation, racism, and stigma. In our presentation, we will discuss the key roles that nurses can play to facilitate equity-oriented palliative car, in order to promote “palliative care for all” who need it in our communities. Lessons learned from our work in inner city mobile palliative care will be shared.

Webinar: Guide Training Adaptations for Remote & Hybrid Work
2021-05-18 09:00 - 10:00
Event hosted by: Ariadne Labs
Join us to learn about three different models for adapting the Serious Illness Care Conversation Guide Training to meet the needs of remote and hybrid work environments. As remote and hybrid work became more prevalent over the last year, systems implementing the Serious Illness Care Program rapidly transitioned the in-person training, consisting of didactic and skills practice sessions, to fully- or partially-virtual modes of delivery. In this webinar, we will hear from Drs. Rachelle Bernacki, Trish Ford, and Seiko Izumi about each of their adaptations to the training, and the pros and cons to each. Additionally, we’ll learn tips about how to plan your own virtual training from SICP CoP Ambassador, Danielle Miltz, with input from fellow Ambassadors, Emma Penti, Nancy Joyner, and Lynn Aiksnoras.
We look forward to hearing your adaptations, learnings, and questions.

Children's grief and bereavement certificate
2021-04-14 09:00 - 16:00
Event hosted by: Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association
Dates: April 14, 21, 28, May 5 and 12, 2021 9am-4pm
Facilitators: Andrea Warnick, RN, MA, RP, Liana Lowenstein, MSW, RSW, CPT-S, Lysa Toye, MSW, RSW, and (Rev.) Andrew Blake, RP
This training is suitable for: Any professional or volunteer who is in a position to influence the support received by a grieving child. This includes front-line workers and volunteers such as medical professionals, educators, clergy, social workers, administrators, residential workers, counsellors, funeral service providers and hospice volunteers.
Overview: Grief is a confusing and isolating experience for any person, old or young. Children’s grief, however, differs considerably from adult grief, resulting in the needs of grieving children often being overlooked or misunderstood. This can have a profound impact on the social and emotional development of a child. Caregivers, including the most skilled professionals, often feel helpless when supporting children through the death of someone close to them.
The children’s grief and bereavement certificate program explores the roots of our cultural discomfort with the topic of children and death and exposes common myths and misconceptions. This certificate program aims to equip you with skills to provide support to children, youth and families grieving the dying or death of someone they care about. Adults cannot change the reality of a death occurring in a child’s life, but with the right tools they can play a powerful role in shaping the story of the child’s grief experience and therefore help the child thrive in life.
The individual webinars may be taken separate from the certificate program as stand-alone trainings; however, all five webinars must be completed to obtain the certificate.
